Béla
Bartók composed the
series of forty-four
violin duos in 1931,
prompted by the German
violin teacher Erich
Doflein. With the
exception of numbers 35
and 36, all the pieces
are based on original
folk melodies, and the
majority were collected
by the composer himself
during his numerous field
trips in the Carpathian
Basin. The melody for No.
42 was collected by
Bartók in Algeria.
Universal Edition
(Vienna) published the
violin duos in 1933 in
four volumes, arranged in
order of difficulty. The
present transcription
faithfully follows the
original. Fingerings are
by the editor.
